Ch.7 Constructing meaning

This chapter's aim was to teach strategies to "students focus on constructing meaning while reading a text." strategies listed on pg. 105

After getting the list of strategies I looked for which strategies my Cent. Students used during their read alouds. I noticed they made connections to personal experiences, attempted to clarify their information, and questioned. One of the main problems they had was that they did not monitor their understanding of the text. They could read and read, and could figure out what the page said, but would not realize they had missed the meaning of the section. I worked them on this by having them stop after each pg and write a short sentence summary after the story tevents. They would then put their sentences together to figure out what happened.
